Your ComputerSeptember 28 - October 8, 2015

Most companies embarking on a lean journey soon become frustrated with kaizen events and isolated improvement projects that yield great short-term results but have no sustainability. They are searching for something more: the culture of continuous improvement with its purpose, processes, and people aligned to cultivate problem solving at all levels every day. This webcast designed on the basis of our workshop Sustainable Lean Culture: Connecting the "Product" and the "People" Value Streams is intended to demonstrate how to coach leadership to connect and simultaneously develop the "Product" and the "People" Value Streams in your organization, which will drive the lean transformation resulting in increased profitability and long-term mutual prosperity.

The program will help you learn how to bring to life the True North" or the guiding principles of your company, and how to use it to align all activities and projects with your organization's primary objectives. We will discuss the "Line of Sight" to the company goals or business plan (Hoshin), normally centered around the key performance indicators (i.e. Quality, Cost, Productivity, Safety, and HR Development), and explain the specific steps/actions needed to create a problem-solving process in daily activities in order to bridge the gaps outlined by the company Hoshin plan: Communication Buy-in Employee engagement, and more.
